-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(TEBO OPEN):
RUDY BOESCH ["BOSH"] OF THE FIRST "SURVIVOR"
T-V SERIES IS WORKING ALONGSIDE THE NATIONAL SAFE BOATING COUNCIL,
TO PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING A LIFE JACKET, TO THE MORE THAN 78-MILLION
RECREATIONAL BOATERS WHO TAKE TO THE WATER EACH YEAR. THE FORMER
NAVY SEAL JOINED THE "WEAR IT!" CAMPAIGN, BECAUSE OF HIS PERSONAL
AFFINITY TO THE U-S COAST GUARD AND HIS FEELING THAT
SAFETY MATTERS...
(BOESCH):
"PUTTING ON A LIFE JACKET ONLY TAKES A SECOND. BUT, THAT
SECOND COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE."
(TEBO BRIDGE):
90-PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE WHO DROWNED IN 2004 WERE NOT WEARING
THEIR LIFE JACKETS. THE COMMANDANT OF THE U-S COAST GUARD,
ADMIRAL THOMAS COLLINS, SAYS...
(COLLINS):
"IF I COULD TELL BOATERS TO DO ONE THING, IT WOULD BE TO WEAR
THEIR LIFE JACKETS."
(TEBO BRIDGE):
AS PART OF THE "WEAR IT!" CAMPAIGN, THE NATIONAL SAFE BOATING COUNCIL
IS HOSTING A SUMMER-LONG, NATIONAL CONTEST, DUBBED "BE A SURVIVOR!"
BOATERS CAN LOG ON TO
W-W-W-DOT-"SAFE-BOATING-CAMPAIGN"-DOT-COM--OR VISIT ANY LOCAL
WEST MARINE STORE, NATIONWIDE--FOR DETAILS ON PRIZES AND THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THEIR STORIES PUBLISHED IN A NEW BOOK FROM THE
COUNCIL. MEANWHILE, RUDY BOESCH REMINDS BOATERS...
(BOESCH):
"ALWAYS WEAR A LIFE JACKET. NEVER BOAT UNDER THE INFLUENCE.
TAKE A BOATING-SAFETY COURSE. AND, GET A FREE VESSEL-SAFETY CHECK."
(TEBO CLOSE):
I'M BOB TEBO.
